It is not too heavy to handle, and running in an instant without the wire to unwind and connect (if, of course, we have not forgotten to charge it). And above all, it is very effective on all types of surface. Having many different coatings in my apartment, that's exactly what I wanted. It is powerful enough to suck well between the interstices of my (old) wooden floor, to clean my shag or short hair and get rid of hair (long as) the cat, without failing to dust the floor roped canvas our room or even to quickly engulf many hair left on the tiles in the bathroom. Its reasonable weight helps stroll from the ground floor to the floor without breaking your back. And the battery lasts long enough not to let you in the middle of your spring cleaning (90 m² to suck for me). Although a bit big to suck on chairs or armchairs, very advantageously replaces a vacuum cleaner to hands / crumbs, precisely by its ease of use. The cleaning of the device itself (tray, brush ...) seemed easy and well thought because you can easily disassemble all this.
Why he has lost a star? The price is justified with respect to the quality of the material, but as has been rightly pointed out in other reviews, we must have on hand a canister vacuum that can not completely replace it. You can invest in this one, but keep your old beast, 4 wheel to slip under furniture because this model of Philips can not be put, as long as these are a bit low. The fact of not being able to change the head is also a shame to get it angles for example, or aspire to a seat bottom. Finally, I ask myself the life of the battery. What will be the cost of the battery when it has decided to permanently let go (and do it will even be possible to regain a)? I find it very unfortunate that it is not hybrid, with a possibility of wired connection, which one would have saved the battery, and two would have avoided ending up in front of an almost empty battery when his head in the homeowners' air forgot to reconnect after use!
In short, this is a great model if you have another vacuum cleaner on hand to meet its few shortcomings.
